A nimble, almost balletic rapper on countless mixtapes, singles, and Billboard-topping collaborations, the 27-year-old comes across both muddled and belligerent on the much-delayed, extensively leaked Rebirth.- Entertainment Weekly

Embarrassing.... It's hard to tell if [Ballard's] hyper-slick style is to blame, or if Lynne has simply hung herself. [16 Nov 2001, p.172]- Entertainment Weekly

Without any real scream-along, kick-ass songs, this is just a One Way Ticket to Hell. Period. [2 Dec 2005, p.81]- Entertainment Weekly

Amounts to nothing more than a party of five million bland cliches. [11 Oct 2002, p.82]- Entertainment Weekly

The pair have an MTV reality show, which only reminds us we'd probably be better off listening to one of the dudes from "I Love Money." [22/29 Aug 2008, p.125]- Entertainment Weekly

As tedious as an episode of Teletubbies--and nearly as simplistic. [13 Oct 2006, p.131]- Entertainment Weekly

Hazards of Love drowns in convoluted plots, blustery guest vocalists, and comically out-of-place guitar shredding.- Entertainment Weekly

There are only a few moments when Symphonicities doesn't seem completely preposterous.- Entertainment Weekly

His indie-circuit friends will be amused, but no one else will. [4 Mar 2005, p.73]- Entertainment Weekly

Iggy sings ballads. In French. With clarinet solos. He also dabbles in Dixieland jazz, spoken word, and chilled electro-lounge music on his 15th solo album. If that sounds hideous, or hilarious, it's actually a little bit of both.- Entertainment Weekly

Korn remain technically proficient, but Take A Look In The Mirror serves only to make the case that the genre has officially screamed itself into caricature. [12 Dec 2003, p.77]- Entertainment Weekly

The songwriting is lazy ("I feel good," she coos, "'cause I don't feel bad." Logic!). The double entendres don't make sense (is "Troubeaux" what they call trouble in Bordeaux?). And the guest stars, including Nas, Rick Ross, and Iggy Azalea, are so much more engaging than their hostess that Lopez sounds like she's been relegated to playing the hook girl on her own album.- Entertainment Weekly

Not even superproducer Flood (U2, Depeche Mode) can save the postpunk singer from misery. Or from overacting.- Entertainment Weekly

[Its] Atari-quality grooves and soulless Berlin homages reek of '80s hipster trash. [4 June 2004, p.80]- Entertainment Weekly

Full of screeching, hollering, and contrived "yo' mama" jive talk. [27 May 2005, p.141]- Entertainment Weekly

An awkward attempt that neither improves upon nor updates the trio's original blueprint. [28 Oct 2005, p.89]- Entertainment Weekly

It's not that this wise ass trio of lucky punks make terrible music -- their crass, hyperkinetic tunes are just the thing for adolescents who find Green Day too intellectually challenging -- but this collection is wholly unwarranted from a band whose breakthrough album is barely a year old.- Entertainment Weekly

Unless you're bound in an herbal body wrap, there's simply no acceptable reason to listen to this New Age nonsense. [11/24/2000, p.82]- Entertainment Weekly

The bulk of Lulu sounds like your dad's drunk friend reciting his self-penned erotica over a melting ReLoad cassette.- Entertainment Weekly
